how can I update the value of a data store object using JavaScript so that I can then retrieve the updated value the next time a step is run?
You can update the value of a data store object in a Pipedream component by using the this.data.set method. Here’s an example of how to update a value and retrieve it the next time the step is run: export default defineComponent({ props: { data: { type: "data_store" }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { // Retrieve the value from the data store const currentValue = await this.data.get('myKey') ?? 0; // Update the value const newValue = currentValue + 1; await this.data.set('myKey', newValue); // The updated value will be available for retrieval in the next run }, }); In this example, we first retrieve the current value using this.data.get('myKey'). If the key doesn’t exist, we set a default value of 0. Then, we update the value and save it back to the data store using this.data.set('myKey', newValue). The updated value will be available for retrieval in the next run of the step.
When I run this code, it does not seem to update the values in the data stores dashboard - why is that?
I apologize for any confusion. The code I provided earlier should work for updating the value in the data store. However, please note that the data store values in the Pipedream dashboard may not update in real-time. It might take a few moments for the updated values to be reflected in the dashboard. If you still don’t see the updated values after waiting for a while, please double-check your code for any errors or issues. If you need further assistance, feel free to ask more questions or visit https://pipedream.com/support for more support options.
It’s been about an hour and the dashboard values are still not updating. Is this a bug?
I apologize for the inconvenience. It’s possible that there might be an issue with the code or the data store itself. To help you further, could you please share the complete code you’re using to update the data store? This will allow me to better understand the issue and provide a more accurate solution. Meanwhile, you can also visit https://pipedream.com/support for more support options.
Of course, here is the complete code:
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform";
export default defineComponent({
props: {
data: {
type: "data_store",
label: "Weekly Lineup Counters"
},
},
async run({ steps, $ }) {
//Date formatting function
function formatDate(dateString, timeInSeconds) {
// Split the date string into year, month, and day components
const [year, month, day] = dateString.split('-');
// Create a new Date object in UTC using the components
const date = new Date(Date.UTC(year, month - 1, day));
// Convert the time from seconds to milliseconds
const timeInMilliseconds = timeInSeconds * 1000;
// Add the time to the date
date.setUTCHours(7, 0, 0, timeInMilliseconds);
// Format the date as "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"
const formattedDate = date.toISOString().replace('T', ' ').substr(0, 19);
return formattedDate;
}
